Stansonnit started his handicap career off 85 last April and is now down to 59 but that still looks a couple of pounds high even in this moderate company. Rapturous Applause has shown the occasional glimmer of ability though not for some time but OPERATEUR should be good enough. Ben Haslam's charge is still a maiden after a dozen runs but he's been competing in class 5 handicaps without disgracing himself and takes a big drop in grade. Willie Musson places his horses well so Asterales looks a threat after a fair run in a Chepstow handicap.
